Gettysburg: Pickett's Charge

July 3, 1863. After a thunderous artillery barrage, 13,000 Confederates march a mile and a half across open fields toward the Union line on Cemetery Ridge. Relive Pickett's Charge through the words of those who witnessed it, from the stone wall at The Angle to Lee's own admission: "All this has been my fault." Witness the turning point of Gettysburg in Ken Burns's The Civil War.
